What donations and funding will help with!

If you want to see our no-kill animal shelter finished, here is what we need as we know it at the present time- January 2018.

As we get bids for various stages of interior construction, we will update you. Our no-kill shelter is in need of donations at the present time which will take many dollars to complete. It takes a lot of money to finish our shelter and then run it. So, therefore, send in your donations in any amount, and it will go towards our shelter construction needs! We cannot do this overnight, and it could be as long as 2 or 3 more years before completion, depending on funding as it comes in.

Yes, we are applying for grants to help with expenses as we do construction, but your donations would help us even more to get closer to our goal- finish our no-kill animal shelter and them operate it to save lives!

Thank you!

Our construction progress for 2017 and more to do!

We will know very soon of the delivery date and will post the update ASAP!

We will coincide this delivery of our building with a "Ground Breaking Ceremony" (bring a shovel), right before the delivery, more than likely on a Sunday afternoon the day before delivery! How exciting!! Wow!

So watch for "THE OFFICIAL DATE" to be in on this wonderful event we have worked so hard to attain and to get started! We are finally on our way and because of so many of you and your devotion, dedication, monetary and other donations of support and commitment and belief in us, we are getting started! Yippee!

May-2014 The CCAPL Board of Directors called a special meeting after the regular meeting Thursday, May 1st, to vote on moving forward with Morton's Buildings, Inc. By a unanimous vote of all seven Board of Directors present, the motion was made by Vice-President Lorna Whaley and seconded by Barbara Manning to send to Morton Buildings, Inc. the cost of Step 2 for $22,500.00 down payment to authorized them to finalize the Architectural, Structural, Electrical, Plumbing and HV/AC designs and obtaining the permits, based on the Conceptual Plan completed under Step 1 as noted and approved by the CCAPL Board of Directors. Patti Willoughby, our Treasurer, sent them a check along with the signed contract by our President. (Our attorney, Kathleen Stoneman has reviewed and approved the Morton Buildings, Inc. contract.)

Shawn Simmerman, the Morton Buildings, Inc. representative, was notified Thursday evening regarding the vote to move forward. Shawn advised the Board of Directors at the April 24th, director's meeting, it will take approximately 4-6 months before actual start-up construction could take place. That is okay, we have worked so hard in the last seven years and almost four months to get to this stage.

Once Step 2 is completed, Shawn will handle Step 3, the actual start of construction of our no-kill animal shelter. We will send Morton Buildings, Inc. a check for $129,500.00 to pay the cost of the "shell" of the building. This will include the exterior walls, roof, windows, exterior doors, and also the insulation throughout.
